Hey guys,
It's no secret that I do modifications to stock lights and build custom lights for a fee. I've recently gotten into doing Aleph builds because, well, these lights are a kick in the butt to mess with and they are real screamers in the performance department.
I've noticed, however, that the most popular of the Aleph line is the one with the least performance (throw). Of course I'm talking about the Aleph II. The reason I say this is because I can't seem to put Aleph II's together fast enough, but the Aleph I or III will sit without much interest in them.
I can understand the reason for the Aleph I moving slowly (in my perception). There are already hundreds of McLuxes floating around that have the same performance (although they don't use the flexible light engine). On the other hand, the Aleph III is a "next level" light. I've gotten performance out of this head that rivals that of a m@g mod, in a package that you could still drop into your back pocket or clip to your belt.
I just thought it would be fun to discuss the reasons that the Aleph II is your favorite Aleph, and mine too.
So, why do YOU like or prefer the Aleph II as opposed to its more capable big brothers?
